Collabyrinth consultant Melvin Bray has been engaged by Auburn Seminary to co-organize the Table for Action Project Atlanta, along with professor and activist Letitia Campbell. Table to Action is an opportunity to facilitate conversation between queer social justice activists and Christian clergy, many of whom do not pastor openly affirming churches. In follow-up to an initial gathering of potential lead hosts 9 December 2014, Auburn sponsors Lisa Anderson and Macky Alston and their two local organizers met today to clarify the program’s vision, audience and timeline.
As Lisa often says, “How we make change is as important as the change we make.” One of the hows that matters most in making change is joy. You can see the joy–joy in their work, joy in each other’s company–all over the faces of Lisa, Letitia, Macky, and Melvin.
